Oh.

[ What else can she say? She blanks for a moment before she swallows. ]

I'm not an expert. I only know things I've heard from the network and from Lancelot's dream. That and about his heart - I helped find a piece.

[sangilak]

I want you to stay away. They were all shardbearers, but I couldn't tell which court.

[ it's the only warning she'll give. though korra's aware that hermione is quite possibly the strongest person here in the drabwurld - more than even her - she wants to make sure that she's kept as safe as she can manage. ]

Any information you have on him will help. I want

[ this is such a bad idea and she knows it, but she can't let this continue. ]

I need to know what I'll be dealing with.

[brainiest]

Korra, I'm Marchioness of the White Citadel. If people are getting hurt I can't just 'stay away' - I don't think that's really how it works.

[ Which isn't even considering Hermione's rather large tendency to get herself into trouble more often than not. Just look at Caer Scima. ]

Lancelot asked me for some help to find out where pieces of Reynard's heart were - he had scattered it, almost like little pieces of himself to keep him alive when he fought people. We managed to find a piece in the Seelie lands of Eaglais to destroy it - we had to fight a golem. After that? Lancelot went with a group of people and destroyed him for good.

[ Hermione is careful with the rest of the information, still a little worried about what Korra might be intending. ]

He wanted power. Shards, I think, from people like us. To make something like the courts we have, but for himself.

[sangilak]

Yeah? Mako's a detective, he investigates this stuff for a living, and I told him to stay away too. Hermione they were all shardbearers. This place is seriously out of whack, I don't want you getting into trouble.

[ caer scima was not your fault, hermione. that was all on harry. ]

I heard about that part on the network a while ago. Argh, that doesn't make sense! Why would he want his own court and his own shardbearers if he's just going to tell people to kill them?

[brainiest]

Trouble finds me no matter what I do, really. It's a bit of an occupational hazard that comes from being the best friend of a Chosen One.

[ Not that she and Harry have spoken for a while. She doesn't want to think about that, about the sigils, about Caer Scima, not while she can avoid it. ]

I'm not entirely sure about that part, not really. I think it was for power, but I think it must have had something to do with fighting back against our monarchs. If he has that kind of power he'd have the same kind of power they have.

[sangilak]

Just a shot in the dark, but I'm guessing you're not talking about me.

[ ha, rethink your friends, hermione.... you're acquainted with a few Chosen Ones. ]

This might sound crazy, but I think that's an idea I can agree with. The longer I stay here the angrier I get.

[brainiest]

Not this time, but you could also be added to the list of troublemakers. Not that I mind, of course.

[ LOOK. It's complicated. ]

It doesn't sound crazy, but I wouldn't have trusted Reynard with it. Not for a moment.

ps this is on compass bc i sure didn't forget about the lockets not working

[sangilak]

I thought you said you weren't an expert.

i assumed! c:

[brainiest]

Why would I trust a man that went around murdering people and stealing their shards with a court? I don't have to be an expert to know that.

[sangilak]

And what about people who are okay with child slavery? Would you trust them with a court?

[brainiest]

Of course not! But there was a way of stopping Reynard, that's all I meant. He would have murdered us all.

1/2

[sangilak]

Then the next time you talk to Solais ask her how the children are.

[ RHFDJGHJFDG no. deep breath, korra. deep. breath. ]

I'm not saying you're wrong. This Reynard sounds like a real piece of work.

[sangilak]

But what if...

[ ... no. "we could've used him" doesn't sound right. ]

What if there was another option.

[brainiest]

I don't imagine I'll be talking to her any time soon. Not after Caer Scima.

[ which korra totally knows about right lol. ]

What are you talking about?

[sangilak]

[ yeah, by now she would've known. ]

That wasn't your fault, Hermione. That has never been your fault.

[ but as for what she's talking about: ]

I don't know. Not yet.

[brainiest]

I don't know if I can argue about that any more, Korra. I know what I did and I've accepted that.

[ This isn't good, Korra. ]

But there's something?

[sangilak]

[ RRRRGH FINE, YOU WIN THIS TIME HERMIONE. she won't fight you on it. ]

I don't know. There might be.

Did they know anything else about why he wanted power?

[brainiest]

I don't know. Honestly, I just know the parts about how he died and what lead up to that, and hiding things so he wouldn't get them. I was kept out of the loop for the most part.

[ i'm not bitter, she said bitterly, with a bitter expression. ]

[sangilak]

...I'm getting a little sick of you being "left out of the loop", Hermione. You're one of the smartest people I know. What, did Harry think you couldn't handle it?

[ and ohhh the way she says harry is like she's spitting venom. thank goodness this is text. ]

[brainiest]

It's not like that. There were people he had to protect, who trusted him with secrets. Being smart doesn't mean I can know everything.

[ sadly. ]

[sangilak]

If you're his best friend, he should trust you. You're smart enough to know not to go flapping your gums at anyone who'll listen, and he should've trusted you to do that much.

[brainiest]

Korra. Please?

[ it hurts enough already. ]

[sangilak]

[ ah... crud. ]

Sorry.

[brainiest]

It's okay. Can we just keep talking about whatever it is you have planned?

[sangilak]

I don't have anything planned.

I never do.
